The conceptual Medicine Delivery Drone was designed by Afu in response to the Zero Covid policy in China as a solution that could've provided support for those who require medication.
The drone maintains a quadcopter design that is capable of being filled with the required prescription before lift off; the unit will autonomously fly to the delivery location to provide patients with their meds. The drone would work in partnership with pharmacies via a smartphone app, which would also help with prescription management and order fulfillment.
The conceptual Medicine Delivery Drone has a foldable design that wouldn't take up much space when not in use and could support a contactless user experience. This would work effectively in the future as a way to reduce contact between people in the event of another health crisis.
